US EditionThe trade deadline is less than a week away. And all NBA eyes are on Giannis and the Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks are assessing trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo amid roster and injury considerations, with talks expected to extend past the February 5 NBA trade deadline.
- With the Feb. 5 trade deadline approaching, the Milwaukee Bucks are weighing whether to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is months from his final contract year, while Bucks general manager Jon Horst considers timing.
- Milwaukee's 18-28 start and position in the Eastern Conference explain why the Milwaukee Bucks face pressure amid a calf strain injury sidelining Antetokounmpo for at least a month.
- Several contending franchises have contacted the Bucks, including the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat and New York Knicks, but Miami's limited draft assets and New York's lack of picks complicate premium offers.
- Teams are largely waiting to see how the Antetokounmpo situation unfolds, and Milwaukee Bucks' premium asking price may force multi-team transactions or facilitators, while sources say talks could continue into summer and June.
- A social-media post this week helped stoke trade chatter after a Facebook photo reportedly linked to Antetokounmpo's mother fueled interest, while sources say calls have intensified in the past 48 hours and may continue until Thursday.
